How does syphilis screening work ?

For our accurate Syphilis Testing, you will only need to provide a blood sample. No preparation is needed, so you there is no need to fast or do anything beforehand. No exam is required either, so you don't have to worry about undressing or swabbing.

One tube of blood will be drawn from you at the lab center. We use this sample to complete a Rapid Plasma Reagin (RGR) test, which looks for the presence of antibodies in your blood, indicating an infection. If your initial RGR results are positive, a follow up test called a Treponemal Pallidum assay (TPA) will subsequently be run, which will confirm the results.

Syphilis is a treatable STD and can be cured with antibiotics, especially when it is caught early.

Our individual syphilis testing option is ideal if you believe you may have been exposed to syphilis recently. A syphilis testing is recommended as part of your standard sexual health routine, especially if you have had unprotected sex. Syphilis spreads easily, and of ten times an affected individual will show no symptoms. Our rpr test is the most popular option with our patients for a reason.

Syphilis antibodies can take quite some time before they are detectable in the bloodstream, so we recommend waiting between 3 and 6 weeks after the possible exposure before getting checked.Your syphilis testing lab visit will only take approximately fifteen minutes.

If you have not recently been screened for STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia or HIV, we recommend you undergo our Standard 5 Panel or our Complete 8 Panel.
